Here are some of the features and benefits of your membership that you can start taking advantage of right away! Want a checklist? (I know I love me a good checklist!) Print it here. Want to do some of the things and not all of the things? Sounds great. We are here to support you. Contact us today to get started!

1. Attend a Luncheon

Our monthly luncheon is on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 12pm at the Historic USO Building (230 W. Ridgecrest Blvd). Here we network and lunch. A different program is planned monthly to help connect you with relevant topics either in the community or in your business. We also get to recognize new members (like you!) with a certificate and photo op. You also get one minute to introduce yourself and your business. Let the networking begin! Your first lunch is on us, so RSVP today!

3. Plan a Ribbon Cutting

A Ribbon Cutting is a great way to kickoff your Chamber Membership! Ribbon Cuttings and Groundbreaking Ceremonies provide an avenue to market your company to those who may not have visited or heard of you before. Don’t have a physical location? We may be able to host!

Most Common Reasons to Host a Ribbon Cutting
o   You have recently joined the Chamber
o   You have recently opened your business or moved locations
o   The business is under new ownership/management
o   You have recently expanded or remodeled your facility
o   The Business is celebrating a milestone anniversary

4. Login to your Chamber member information center
